We've Got the Election Covered

Every single day, there are at least two or three articles in every newspaper and blog site and magazine about voter fraud and voter suppression - some of it accused at Democrats, and lots of it accused at Republicans.  Everyone seems terrified that McCain will steal the election, like Dubya did in 2000.  But to me, it seems like this election will be un-stealable.

First of all, Obama's campaign is superbly run.  He's got millions of dollars to spend, and boy, is he spending them.  He's even turning Republican stronghold states into battleground states.

Second, the polls are being watched so closely, you won't be able to pick your nose without it appearing on YouTube.  There have been calls for voters to bring their cameras with them to the polls, in order to document any untoward activity on the part of the workers or the machines.  The early voting turnout has been in record numbers, highlighting errors that can and will be fixed before Tuesday.  The Democrats are sending hundreds of poll watchers and lawyers to polling stations around the country, in order to back up any challenged voters.

So I think that, while we can never be too confident, and we definitely cannot call the election before the polls close, this election will be more fraud - free than any other, maybe in the history of the U.S.  Because remember - we'll be watching.
